Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red spot with white center on inner thigh which is due to abundance of sebaceous glands in these areas and due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis.. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain complete hygiene of that area. Wash these areas daily with cold water and body wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid which is good for pimples. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You should apply topical antibacterial ointment. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocycline, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
